After Dark Tasmanian Devil Feeding Tour at Cradle Mountain
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 15 minutes
Mobile ticket
The after dark feeding tour is an experience that is unique to Devils@Cradle. This tour provides an unforgettable experience, and the opportunity to observe these extraordinary animals whilst one of our keepers gives you a greater understanding of them, and details the conservation work being undertaken within the facility. Devils and quolls are primarily nocturnal species, therefore are far more active at night, and the introduction of food generally stimulates some fierce competition between them. We use environmentally sensitive lighting and focus on the social interactions and feeding habits of these unique carnivores, allowing visitors a rare up close opportunity of seeing Tasmanian devils in a group feeding situation - quite a spectacular sight!

5.00This was a great opportunity to see not just Tasmanian devils but also eastern quolls and spotted tail quolls up close during feeding, and also to learn lots of interesting things about them. Our guide Rory was very knowledgeable and happy to answer lots of questions.

5.00One of the most informative wildlife experiences I have been on. Our guide for the evening was The Best! Devils @Cradle provide a great environment for their furry family of devils and quolls. It appears to be above the standard I have seen elsewhere in the state. Well Done .
Devilishly delightful

5.00The "Dessert with the Devil" was an incredible experience and well worth every cent of the reasonably priced admission fee which also goes towards supporting conservation efforts. We loved learning all about these amazing creatures from deeply knowledgeable, passionate staff who welcomed questions. They keep the group size small so everyone can see what's happening when they feed the devils and quolls. There is even an opportunity to have a pat! Can't recommend this enough.
Fun and informative

5.00This tour was unexpectedly awesome! It was so informative and interesting. The guide was so knowledgeable and was keen on sharing all that she knew. We saw multiple feedings of devils & quolls and learned so much about them. We came away with a better understanding of these animals that we’d never seen before.
Fabulous. Don’t miss it!

5.00It was a fantastic experience to be able to see the Devils up close, active and feeding. Interesting to learn more about them and the conservation programme.

5.00We had a beautiful experience at Devils @ Cradle. The After Dark Feeding Tour was fantastic — just over an hour long, which felt perfect. Our lovely guide was extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much about the animals and conservation work being done there. The group size was around 20 people, which still felt really personal and relaxed. Such a special experience and definitely something we’d recommend when visiting Cradle Mountain!
Incredible devils

5.00Really great tour learnt so much about the little devils. Just make sure you dress for ANY weather as it can get very cold with the night sessions while outside
